After a long awaited change of season and so much snow and cold, the culinary curve of colorful crop has arrived.

Watermelon radishes ~

Not quite a radish in the traditional sense, and definitely not a watermelon, this highly unique and incredibly vibrant globular root deserves a stage of its own. After all, it’s HOT PINK!!

An exterior flesh of marbled green, closeting circular striations of pink and magenta impart an incredibly delicate and fresh flavor, as well as the reference to the watermelon in the likewise appearance.

The watermelon radish is nothing new to me, with a self-introduction just over a year ago.

Such a rare treat, though, each moment I see this gorgeous globe staring back at me and even singing my name in the produce aisle, I am compelled to make the purchase.

This recipe looks delicious AND it fits the paleo autoimmune protocol (a rare thing). So, thank you! I recently started a weekly Paleo AIP Recipe Roundtable through my blog, and I would love it if you linked up this recipe. I’m trying to expand resources for the AIP community.
